This book documents and analyzes the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic through queer and feminist perspectives. A testament of
dispossessions as well as a celebration of various forms of
resilience, community building and critical responses, it
chronicles the social history of queer and trans persons and women
in South Asia and the diasporas. Through a creative and
collaborative form of ethnographic writing, the book enters in
conversation with the worlds of domestic helps, caregivers,
cultural workers, students, sex workers and other precariously
employed people. It examines the confining effects of the pandemic
on the lived realities of many queer and trans individuals, the
caste-oppressed and women across socio-economic backgrounds. The
chapters in the volume piece together narratives of prejudice,
hardship, self-expression and resistance from interviews, personal
accounts, as well as poems and stories from activists, artists and
other collaborators. The book pays particular attention to issues
of power and asymmetrical relationships amidst COVID-19 and offers
critiques to deepen the understanding of the uneven fault lines
within which historically oppressed persons reside in South Asia.
Exploring themes of migration, disability and sexual politics, this
book is an essential reading for scholars and researchers of gender
and sexuality studies, cultural studies, South Asian studies,
sociology and social anthropology.
